Burn in iems with balanced armatures?

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)
1

Exist.

Why have I been able to see differences related to tuning and the stage if I give it burn in?
I notice the sound more mature and the soundstage looser and I would say expansive.
I had understood that since they are balanced armor there should be no changes with the burn in.

I clarify. I do NOT burn in my ears. I test the iems as it arrives and then I run it without listening for x hours.

Why?

I notice this with new sets too,

I put it down to brain burn-in and my ears/ hearing acclimating to the tuning of the new iem.
